Equipment

  • Popsicle Mold and sticks
  • blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh papaya, packed ripe
  • ¼ cup spring water
  • ¾-1 cup raw coconut water
  • 2 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Break out your favorite popsicle mold, lid, and sticks. Then cut up papaya into chunks and marinate them in the lime juice, and set aside for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Once marinated put papaya and all other ingredients, including any leftover lime juice into into a blender and blast until well combined. Smoothie texture.
  • Fill each popsicle mold with the mixture, cover the mold with the lid, and add popsicle sticks. Tap counter to reduce any air bubbles. Then freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
  • To loosen once frozen - run the mold under warm or hot water on all sides and wiggle out the popsicles from their molds.  Store them in a sealed container or bag. Freeze for up to 4 months.

Notes

  • I prefer to use raw coconut water because it tastes as if you just opened the coconut.  I do not like processed brands because they taste fake and look cloudy.  You want to go with the coconut water that only uses 1 ingredient.  You do not want to use coconut water from concentrate, or any that use added sugars.  Added sugars would be listed in the list of ingredients.  
  • You can choose coconut water that is pink or clear.
  • Sometimes fresh papaya that is not in season or ripe can taste bland.  Make sure you are using your papaya on the ripest day.  (usually 5 days or more on the countertop).
